Cosmin 2,484 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 He's a good keeper, but he's not that important in the squad. Is he really worth the drama? I can't remember too many occasions when he saved us like, let's say, De Gea does on a regular basis for United. If he wants to leave, let him leave. Get the money and go find an Ederson of our own. Johnnyeye, Leif, Amblève. and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 So his heart isn't in Chelsea....no thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCM4PR3Z 411 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 He didn't say much wrong actually. He says he misses his children that live in Madrid, so that it is obvious that one day he will live in Madrid again. He also says he had a great period at Atlético and that he found it difficult to leave that club, but now he is fully settled here and is very happy in London. And if Real wants him, they have to contact and agree with Chelsea first. And he doesn't hate Real because of his past at Atlético. Let's beat the sh*t out of this bignose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Sideshow Luiz, Supermonkey92, pHaRaOn and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way we deal with corners and set pieces under Courtois is night and day, Willy causes panic. He has been a decent number 2 but we would quickly get sick off him as a number 1. DYC., Blue-in-me-Veins, pHaRaOn and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could be held accountable for almost half of the goals we've conceded in our last two games alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif 6,006 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Restart the season with Caballero as number 1 instead, and i doubt there's any more than 3Â extra goals conceded by this point - with the added bonus that the player isn't a cock. Â But he's a willy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the wes 7,212 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Real Madrid prepared to pay £100m or offer players as they see Thibaut Courtois more likely than David De Gea http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/manchester-united-chelsea-real-madrid-transfer-news-david-de-gea-courtois-latest-a8202606.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would not only lose by far our best player but change 3/4 of first 11? Its has disaster written all over it. What we have to do is tie our best players to long term contracts and buy 3 world class players so we can play 4:3:3 I agree about Pedro and Luiz maybe. But first we need to get 3 quality players in midfield, wings and wingback positions Hmmmm but 3 world class players? The Boss if the blurb on here is correct, wanted Bonucci, Sandro, Van Dijk, and Sanchez. And look who Marina got him, he asked for cream and got skimmed milk.

kobematabryant 400 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 What is up with all these uneducated footballers with having kids at a young early age? I understand having kids is a blessing but the fact that this guy is a single father to 2 kids at the age of 25, goes to tell you everything about his intelligence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the successful college graduates make 100.000 a year by the time they graduate, these footballer make that in a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actors, models, singers, golfers, tennis players, rugby players, cricketers, f1 drivers, cricketers, basketballers, nfl players, hockey players, etc, are all pretty much set financially by the age of 18, but you wouldn't see them having kids in their teenage/early 20s. Football/soccer players are mostly uneducated/uncultured in Europe, hence you see a lot of stories like Courtois. You will see all the top football/soccer players had kids in their teenage/early 20s, and that's nothing to do with their financial situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
